Beloit Health System provides comprehensive diagnosis, management, and
care of a variety of neurological conditions. Neurology is a medical specialty
for conditions that affect the central nervous system, which primarily
consists of the brain and spine. Our team of highly skilled, board-certified
neurology and neurosurgery professionals treat both child and adult patients
and work to improve our patients’ quality of life through expert
medical management.
Neurological conditions are very common, such as suffering from an unexplained
seizure, sustaining a concussion, or suffering from a stroke. A neurologist
is your partner in determining how to treat a condition like these so
your symptoms subside without your condition worsening to a chronic problem
that delays recovery time. For instance, a neurologist will always advise
athletes to refrain from further physical activity until they have fully
recovered from a concussion to avoid a second concussion, which can have
devastating and life-threatening consequences.
Brain & Spine Disorders We Treat
Expert care is a must if you are suffering from a brain or spine disorder.
While a primary care physician can help with first-line treatments such
as helping patients overcome chronic headaches or temporary numbness/pain,
these problems often indicate a brain or nervous system problem, and you
could be referred to a neurologist for specialized care. Neurological
assessments are important if you have noticed symptoms such as memory
challenges, muscle weakness, tremors, loss of coordination, or communication
difficulties.
Some of the neurological conditions we treat include:
Stroke
Seizures
Epilepsy (a chronic condition in which the patient has had 2 or more unprovoked seizures)
Dementia
Parkinson’s Disease
Tremors
Diseases of the spinal cord, such as pinched nerves
